will have more in a couple of days. NOW, i don't know a lot about panelbeating so any comments good or bad about what has been done will be appreciated...

I have taken all the chrome off so that each part will be painted in 2pot black. no chrome on the beast at all.

The back windows have been closed off so i can use a perspex window in the rear.

The front bumper (moulding) has been cleaned and repaired by bumper Replacements.

The metal front bumper needs more repair than the titanic.

Racelign have welded new mounts underneath for the new sway bars and these will be painted before the bars are fitted.

Hopefully the panelwork will be finished this week and the undercoat on. more pics then.

I had a new tank fabricated but have no idea how big it is.

we have closed in the old rear windows so i can use a fixed perspex window. the wheel arches have been pushed out and look nice now. It is now time to put the front end back together...

YAY, we finally got the undercoat on the main body and bonnet, doors and boot lid tomorrow. Then on Tuesday we raise it up and finish off underneath... looking good.

Been following this project from afar :) It's starting to look good :)

I don't suppose the car originally had a towbar on it did it? I'm looking at buying an early 6er as a daily but need tow capacity.
